Functional Iron Man Gauntlet Will Blow Your Mind

Cosplay is taken to a new level with this functional Iron Man gauntlet capable of bursting your balloons, literally.

We are one step closer to all having Iron Man suits. Now, we've seen cool cosplay before, even ones with mechanical features, but this is a step beyond normal cosplay. The Laser-Gadgets website posted this video of a self-made and functional Iron Man gauntlet that has moving pieces, lights, and a higher intensity laser that is capable of popping balloons. Check out the full video below.

According to Patrick Priebe's Youtube page, the German who created this beast and the founder of Laser-Gadgets, this gauntlet cost around three grand to put together. While brilliant in design, the gauntlet "runs on 1x 18650, plus 2x 14500 Li Ion cells. 2 blue lasers on board, 1.2W each, plus 2 4mW for aiming." Higher intensity lasers create heat, which can pop the balloons. This just adds so much awesomeness to this piece. By far, this is probably one of the coolest realizations of a piece of comic book tech.

What do you guys think of this video? What piece of comic book tech would you like to see in real life?

well that was six kinds of lame. and 10 tons of not-even-real-comic-book-reader. he just saw the movies and had too much time on his hands.

Really now, and you know this all from that one video? And what of it if this person was inspired by the movies, isn't that, y'know, the point of the movies? To inspire people, through these characters, to look into the realm of the impossible? That's not lame, it's called imagination.

Seriously, that was actually pretty impressive and just shows what one can do with time, effort, and the desire to create something new and interesting. Which this person succeeded at.

Pretty amazing really when you think about it! Looks a bit like it pinches the skin though, but that is pretty darn amazing. Far as what tech, I'd love to have a combination of Hawkeye's and Green Arrows bolt shafts of course that do all the interesting things!
